Friends I've set this message up to go to all my friends in my address book & also to those of you who send me obituaries, files, etc. to prepare for uploading to the NGB site. I will be a little slow in posting my Western Star and Gulf News obituaries to the lists as well. At the present time, I will be off and on the computer - probably more off than on - during the next week or so. As a break, I will find time to sit down to work on some files to try to keep my sanity during this time but please bear with me. I have various filters set up to help handle my mail so that later I will be able to quickly catch up with whatever I don't get done over the next few days. My oldest daughter, Natasha, is getting married this coming Saturday, August 2, so those of you who have had children get married will know what this coming week will be like. This is my first time so this is being a real experience. Also my granddaughter is home and it's her birthday on Thursday - she will be three and believe it or not, she's going to be the flower girl. Also, on Saturday, although it's the wedding day, it's also the bride's father's birthday and also that of the groom's mother - she's one of a twin so it's his birthday as well and they have not been together on their birthday for the last 15 years. So, if you write and don't get a quick response, please bear with me and I'll get back to you as quickly as I can. Thank you for your patience. Ivy -- Ivy F.
